Béla Bartók:
Piano Quintet
01. I. Andante
02. II. Vivace (Scherzando)
03. III. Adagio –
04. IV. Poco a poco più vivace
Erich Wolfgang Korngold:
Piano Quintet in E major, Op. 15
05. I. Mäßiges Zeitmaß, mit schwungvoll blühendem Ausdruck
06. II. Adagio: Mit größter Ruhe, stets äußerst gebunden und ausdrucksvoll
07. III. Finale: Gemessen, beinahe pathetisch
Youthful piano quintets from Korngold the arch-Romantic and Bartók in his pre-modernist vein make a fascinating comparison. This album offers a snapshot of early twentieth-century Austro-Hungarian chamber music as represented by two of its most individual voices.
